19th Annual International Gold Show

The Gold Show originated in 1986 and has since then has become a tradition in Dawson. Every year when the snow starts to melt and the mud appears, Gold Show fever is in the air. This show is not only a wonderful opportunity for people to do business and get ready for the summer, it is also a time when old friends meet up after a long winter and new friendships are developed in a relaxed and social atmosphere.

We are looking forward to your participation for our 2004 show. If you have any ideas for displays or something of interest to the community let us know and lets see if we could accomodate you.

The cost of advertising in our program has decreased. Please take a look at our new prices and help support the Gold Show.

The Gold Show is an excellent opportunity for businesses to bring their products and services to central Yukon.

Along with the industry focus, the show is home to an antique & craft fair. The show is a consumer event attracting a large base of customers and exhibitors from the Yukon, NWT, British Columbia, Alberta, Alaska and several from the lower forty-eight. With each show bringing new and exciting products and ideas, you can guarantee that there is something for everyone!

Gold Anniversary Gifts for Parents – What Can You Buy Them?

Choosing an anniversary gift need not be difficult even it’s for a special occasion like a gold wedding anniversary. Once you know what anniversary year your parents will be celebrating, you are already half-way there since there is a list of modern and traditional anniversary gifts that make it easy to narrow down your search for an appropriate gift.

Flowers are a popular anniversary gift for a couple. Choose with care to show that you have put some thought into this. You may want to use the list of traditional and modern anniversary gifts to help you decide on the color of the flowers you wish to send. Perhaps buy a flower that is gold-plated (for 50th anniversary – see goldenanniversarygifts.ca) or carved out of wood (5th anniversary) or made with silver (25th anniversary) that can be displayed at home. A perennial plant or bush for their garden or conservatory will bloom each year unlike cut flowers, a bouquet or a floral arrangement. A pot of carnations, tulips, lilies and the ever popular rose are symbols of the love upon which their marriage is based. With a card to the couple, you can let them know that you have chosen white carnations because they represent pure and sweet love or roses as they represent love, desire and respect. Flowers have many meanings relevant to married life that symbolise friendship, loyalty and faith.
